COCONUT CHICKEN



Coconut Chicken image

I couldn't find a recipe for coconut chicken that is typically served at a Chinese buffet, so I made my own. This is baked, not fried. I like to serve this with rice and edamame. My husband and picky 2 year old love this!

Time 3h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (14 ounce) can coconut milk, divided
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup panko bread crumbs
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg, beaten
½ cup reduced-fat mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Pour half the coconut milk, the garlic, soy sauce, and lime juice into a resealable plastic zipper bag, and shake to thoroughly combine the marinade. Place the chicken strips into the bag, squeeze several times to coat the chicken with marinade, and refrigerate at least 3 hours. Reserve the rest of the coconut milk.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease with olive oil.
  • Place the shredded coconut into a blender or food processor and pulse several times until the coconut is ground into crumbs. Mix it with panko crumbs, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Place the flour into a second bowl, and the egg into a third shallow bowl. Shake excess marinade from chicken strips, and dip them into the flour to thoroughly coat; then dip into egg, and finally into the coconut crumb mixture. Place the coated strips onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the chicken strips in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Mix the reserved coconut milk and mayonnaise in a small saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat; serve the sauce drizzled over the chicken strips or on the side for dipping.

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (15 ounce) can cream of coconut
1 cup hot water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
2 onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed

Steps:

  • Mix the cream of coconut with the hot water until smooth and well blended, and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and place the chicken breasts into the hot oil. Pan-fry the chicken breasts until they have begun to brown but are still pink inside, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken breasts to paper towels, and sprinkle them with lemon juice, ginger, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Place the onions and garlic into the skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet on top of the cooked onions and garlic, and pour the coconut cream mixture over the chicken. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened, about 35 minutes.

ONE-PAN CHICKEN THIGHS WITH COCONUT CREAMED CORN



One-Pan Chicken Thighs With Coconut Creamed Corn image

If it's possible to upstage crispy-skinned chicken thighs, the coconut creamed corn in this dish comes close. The sweetness of caramelized corn and coconut milk is balanced by the brightness of the ginger, chile, scallions and lime. As the corn simmers, the browned chicken thighs finish cooking right on top, so the flavors meld and deepen. It's a complete summery meal in one skillet, although you can make it anytime. Just use frozen corn. Garnish it with cilantro, chives, fried shallots or coconut flakes, and serve it with a green side. If you feel like it, you could use shrimp instead of chicken. (Use this recipe as a guide.)

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (4 to 6 pieces)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
5 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (from about 7 ears)
3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated or chopped
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely grated or chopped
1 serrano chile or chipotle in adobo, finely chopped, or 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1 (15-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil in a large (12-inch) skillet. Add the thighs, skin-side down, and set over medium heat. (It's OK if they're slightly squeezed in the skillet; as the fat renders, they'll shrink.) Cook, undisturbed, until the skin is deep golden brown, and the thighs release easily from the pan, about 15 minutes. (If your stove is getting splattered with oil, cover the skillet.) Transfer the chicken, skin-side up, to a plate. Reserve the skillet and fat.
  • Increase the heat to high, add the corn, scallion whites, ginger, garlic and serrano. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the corn starts to brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes, adding an extra minute or two if using frozen corn.
  • Reduce heat to medium, add the coconut milk, scrape up any browned bits from the pan and season with salt and pepper. Put the chicken on top of the corn mixture, skin-side up. Simmer until the coconut milk is slightly thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes. (If your corn has reduced too much before your chicken is done cooking, just add a few tablespoons of water or chicken stock.)
  • Serve with a squeeze of lime and reserved scallion greens on top.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use fresh coconut cream instead of canned coconut milk.
  • For a richer sauce, reduce the amount of chicken broth by half.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or basil, to the sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Serve the chicken with a side of rice or noodles to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • If you don't have coconut cream, you can use coconut milk instead. However, the flavor will be slightly less rich.
  • You can also add other vegetables to the dish, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
  • For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce.

Conclusion:

Cream of coconut chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy sauce is rich and flavorful, and the chicken is tender and juicy. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, give this recipe a try.
